| Notes: | he was walking along the tramway and stood aside to allow a train of five waggons to pass; the driver and stoker both saw him when passing, in quite a safe position; yet despite this, he appears to have fallen between the wheels of the last waggon; he had previously complained of a feeling of dizziness when the engine passed near him, and the presumption is, that owing to this cause, he lost his balance; there was sufficient room for clearance at the point where he was standing |
